I am a born and raised Canadian, you are correct. Like I said, it is hard for me to go there (taking time off work) and expensive. That is why I am considering marriage, because it seems like the only way we can be together relatively soon. I've always been the one bringing it up. She always...

Hi, This is a follow-up to this thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/visitor-visa-for-my-filipina-girlfriend.637915/ So, I wrote this invitation letter draft for her application. It's nothing intricate, but I would like to know if there's anything I...

I meant, I’m not sure if I could go there for a year because I still have to pay rent here. But I can work remotely and since my job have an office in Manila, that might be an option.

Another option, which I’m really unsure if it would be possible, would be for me to go live there for a year. We would then become common-law spouses. I think I could then sponsor her to come to Canada, but she could still request spousal support if we broke up.

I want to marry her, but of course I would prefer to wait at least a few years before doing so - but due to government policies I just can’t do that unless I accept the fact that we will only be together maybe 2 months a year at most. Also, life doesn’t last forever, and I only have a few years...

So far I have *a lot* of chats, pictures of us together in the Philippines, pictures of us with her family, etc. I will of course introduce her to my family if she gets over here. The welfare thing I am not worried about, it’s more having to pay for her for decades that worries me the most...

Haha, yeah, that’s what we’ll do then. Should we say that we really don’t plan on getting married while she is staying here or would we be better off avoiding the subject altogether? We *might* get married if everything goes exceptionally well but it’s not the reason of her visit so...

As far as applying for the TRV, what should we say in the application exactly? She can't say she's simply visiting with no ulterior motive, because I'll be the one paying for everything including her plane ticket, so it'll be pretty obvious at this point.

Yeah, student visa seems out of the question.

TRV = visitor visa, right? Coming from the Philippines, she needs one for even stepping a foot in Canada, let alone staying several months. Student visa is unfortunately out of the question - for us at least. Would it still work if it was a family member's account, or does it absolutely have to...

Hi! So, I'm a Canadian (Quebec) guy in my 20's. I have met a 19 year old Filipina online nearly 5 months ago, and we have been chatting daily ever since. I flew out to the Philippines for the first time in May to meet her and we spent 3 weeks together. It was amazing, and we would like to be...
